The Department of World Languages strongly encourages all students to enroll in language courses at the appropriate course level. Students who enroll in levels below their ability often do not succeed in their chosen course.  For prerequisite information, see the Moorpark College Catalog and the Counseling webpage.

Students who are unable to demonstrate completion of the prerequisite with transcripts, but who believe that their experience with the language should qualify them for admission to a higher level, may complete this online diagnostic level test and speak with a world languages professor to determine success level.  If a higher level is supported, the prerequisite waiver form is required for enrollment.
